Mille Miglia Race Competitors' vs Edition watches

Jun 24, 2017,14:43 PM
 

Sometimes the competitors' watches had different or lower grade movements than the production edition watches.

This is usually when in-house Chopard movements are used in production watches and 3rd party movements in competitors' watches. If it has a display back, it usually is a Chopard movement or a Chopard-decorated 3rd party movement that they are proud to show.

Back in 2003, they were all 3rd party movements anyway.

MTF

Your in-depth reply is much appreciated and above and beyond any answer I could have hoped for. When you say the movements are sometimes different between competitor models and normal series, how so? Are the less decorated or different movements all toget...
